BBIFMAC are currently undertaking trials on a number of farms in the Lillesmere Lagoon Region to determine water quality and nitrogen runoff under their “Connecting Cane Farmers To Local Wetlands Project”. The aspect of water quality was the subject of much discussion at recent KCGOL AGM. A member participating in trial has provided progress report in relation to his farm results and impact on Lillesmere Lagoon for growers who may be interested.
